I don't care what critics and other people think.

The gut-strung guitar, the classical guitar, that is a whole different world on its own. When you think what the guitar can do and what every individual player does with a guitar, everyone has their own identity coming through the guitar.

No. I usually rest in my satin-lined coffin, actually. I'm not allowed out in daylight hours.

I will still carry on changing all the time.

When you hear the melodic structures of what classical musicians put together and you compare it to that of a rock & roll record, there's a hell of a long way rock & roll has to go.

I guess the solo from 'Achilles Last Stand' is in the same tradition as the solo from 'Stairway to Heaven'...it is on that level to me.

If you're working at the factory and you're cursing every day that you get up, at all costs get out of it. You'll just make yourself ill.
